Chapter 133 Helpless Surrender
Qi Jinjue was previously secretly sent to Hehe as a driver. Now that the mission was not completed, Emperor Ming suddenly passed away. He was panicked and had not thought of his next plan. He was pronounced guilty and died by Qi Jie. Now his identity and status are all gone. None, all his relatives and relatives were imprisoned in Qidu. He was a living person with no country, no name, and no future. It was really more terrifying than death.

With no way to go, he thought over and over again and decided to join the Lejia royal family.

He asked He and several close ministers to first have a secret conversation with Ouyang Qunfang but was turned away thousands of miles away. So he didn't care about life and death and secretly asked someone to hand his name card to Lejia Pengkang's imperial table.

At midnight tonight, in the side hall of Yuquan Palace, Qi Yijue finally met in secret with Lejia Pengkang.

"The king is well." Qi Jinjue bowed respectfully and thoughtfully.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning." Lejia Pengkang raised his eyebrows, speaking very politely but unceremoniously, "Now I have also seen that 'dead people' can also speak."

Qi Jinjue smiled nonchalantly: "Death or life depends on the king's will."

"Although I am in charge of a part of the world, I have not given the crown ceremony, so naturally I am not that capable." Lejia Pengkang accepted the high hat he handed to him, but he was willing not to belittle himself easily.

"The world is ever-changing, with heroes vying for the throne and ambitious ones. The king is not deeply involved in the matter, has too little experience, and has not learned to compromise and use any means. It is natural that he cannot defeat Qi Jie and Ling Ziyu. However, the days are still long and the future is uncertain."

"Do you want to continue to say that with your help, Hehe and I will be more likely to break through the siege and compete with the great powers in the future." Lejia Pengkang did not tactfully clarify his purpose of coming.

"That's not entirely true." Qi Jinjue gave up.

"Oh? Then why did you try your best to appear in front of me?"

"With the current situation in the world, although Xirong retreats, it will be difficult to regain its strength in a short time. With the military reinforcements from Beiling and Dongqi, Hehe will not have border difficulties for the time being, but there is no peace for these two tiger and wolf countries. Good intentions, with the national power of Dongqi or Beiling, it would be easy for either of them to overthrow Hehe. I think the king knows this very well."

"Thank you, Prince Ning, for reminding me." Lejia Pengkang said sarcastically.

"With my current situation, why would the king tease me?" Qi Jinjue shook his sleeves, seeming displeased.

"In that case, what can you do?"

"I can do a lot, but it depends on what the king needs me to do."

"Then what do you want from me?"

Qi Jinjue and Lejia Pengkang talked to each other, testing each other.

"Qi Jie has cut off all my escape routes. It is impossible for me to return to Dong Qi. All I want now is a safe place to stay and avoid Dong Qi's pursuit."

"So Easy?!"

"I also want to unveil the head on the neck. He was ruthless and unrighteous, killed his father and brother, and conspired to usurp the throne. Heaven and earth will punish him." Qi Jinjue's eyes widened with anger, and the veins on his neck were bulging fiercely.

"Hehe is a small country with little power and may not be able to resist, but I am very curious, why don't you defect to Beiling or Xirong?"

"The concerns of the king are also reasonable."

Qi Jinjue had obviously already thought of an excuse and continued his persuasion: "Xirong was defeated by Dongqi and was completely defeated. He is born with hate and hatred, and is short-sighted. If I take the initiative to send him to the door, I will be dead. But Beiling is strong and can work carefully." The city of Qidu is full, so my value is not great. Besides, the old King Ling is as suspicious as my father, and Ling Ziyu and Qi Jian are cousins. Even if the country is in the interests of the country, it is unlikely that they will do anything for it. I lost my temper."

"How will you know if you don't try it?" Lejia Pengkang responded jokingly.

"When choosing a master to do things and a tree to live in, you should also look at the plans of the Holy Master and Jiamu. In comparison, it is you, the king, who need me the most." Qi Jinjue gently cupped his hands to show his love. sincerity.

"Is Prince Ning willing to be a virtuous minister and a good bird? It's just forced by the situation." Lejia Pengkang despised Qi Yijue's flattery.

"If the monarch is willing to allow me to stay in Hehe safely, I will definitely be able to prove it." "In the past, you also promised Emperor Ming that you wanted to secretly end the relationship between me and the former monarch, right? Looking at it now, your errand is done Not much."

Hearing this, Qi Yijue changed his face in shock. Indeed, this matter was the biggest obstacle to his surrender, so he quickly flattered him: "The Lord of the Country has his own destiny."

Lejia Pengkang avoided responding and just looked at him calmly, his kingly demeanor getting stronger.

"Yes, I was indeed ordered to disrupt the situation in the Hehe Dynasty before, but it was not from Emperor Ming. Instead, Qi Jian threatened the lives of my wife and children, forcing me to kill the late king. But in the end, Beiling's clever work took the lead. ...Besides, today is different from the past.”

The more Qi Jinjue tried to figure it out, the more he realized that it was an indescribable paradox. If Yi tried to figure out that he was capable and valuable, reality would give him a real slap in the face, and he was willing to be honest with Le Jia. If he insists that Le Jia Huanyu's death has nothing to do with him, it will prove his uselessness.

However, he still reacted quickly, deliberately saying that he was threatened by Qi frame, which made the hatred in Lejia Pengkang's heart take root and made the irreconcilable gap between him and Qi frame deeper and wider.

"It's no different from me." Lejia Pengkang was indeed filled with hatred in his heart. He also understood that Qi Yijue had ulterior motives, but he pretended to be very calm on the surface.

"The world is at peace, and Hehe's overthrow is just around the corner! The world is in chaos, and although Hehe is bearing the brunt, there is life under the dead situation! I know the situation in Dongqi's court and the entanglement of forces better than anyone else! There is also Dongqi in Hehe And even the hidden piles and layout in Beiling!"

Seeing that Lejia Pengkang was still unmoved, Qi Jinjue panicked and decided to take a gamble and reveal his bottom line.

"I just want He and the people to be safe." Lejia Pengkang still refused to let go.

"With two countries competing for hegemony, how can the people of Hehe live in peace?! In less than five years, there will be a decision whether Hehe will be included in Dongqi or Beiling. Even if the king understands the righteousness and takes the initiative to surrender, But it is impossible to have two masters at the same time. When the time comes, the border of Hehe Kingdom will be the most tragic battlefield for the chaos in the world. The loss of life and corpses everywhere will be the price of the king's forbearance and concession!"

"The Lejia royal family has lasted for hundreds of years. Even if its future is in decline, it can still survive in the cracks for more than dozens of years. It should have the value of existence."

"You don't understand Kai frame very well!"

"I don't understand you either!"

After a heated argument, Lejia Pengkang lost his patience and stopped talking, while Qi Jinjue closed his eyes and sighed deeply. After a long time, he finally spoke: "If the Lejia clan is still so unwilling to make progress, we will If the marriage is regarded as a national policy for survival, relying on other people's efforts to survive, but obeying the fate of fate, then there is absolutely no place for me here!"

Having said that, regardless of whether the aloof little country lord agreed or not, he left in anger.

Lejia Pengkang did not stop him, nor did he let any of the guards block his way.

But at this time, Qi Jinjue was frightened every step he took. He couldn't predict what he would face.

It wasn't until he safely left Yuquan Palace, boarded the carriage prepared in advance, and met the mysterious man that he came to his senses.

"How is it?" the mysterious man asked after confirming that no one was following him.

He shook his head exhaustedly.

"Then how did you escape the palace confinement safely?" the mysterious man questioned.

Qi Jinjue raised his eyes and looked at him, then managed to show a smile.He originally thought that if he could not win a last-ditch battle, then today would be his death anniversary.

But Lejia Pengkang did not kill him, let alone put him under house arrest. This was the last hope left to him by fate.

Although he is still not trusted at the moment, this first hurdle can be regarded as barely passed. He Heguo can live in peace of mind and prepare for the future slowly, but it depends on his own destiny.
